I am middle aged. My weight is just under 11 stones (68Kg, BMI is just within healthy range). But I love my lycra!

There is always rubber.

Oh thanks a bunch Chris, was just getting used to thinking I don't look like a pillock

Chris Hoy is 14.5 stones according to wikipedia

Pah! What does he know..?

I don't suppose he's about to launch a range of loose fit cycle apparel by any chance.

Cynical but possibly true.

He's going to hate my PVC nurses outfit then.

It isn't just lycra that some overweight people look silly in. Tee shirts too tight and stuff are daft,so why single out lycra? Someone laughed at my overshoes the other day. Yeah but have YOU looked in the mirror recently,i thought.

Is this some sort of distraction tactic after the Alliston trial? Is the public being asked to start making fun of cyclists again instead of hating them?

Finding it funny that someone wants to keep their feet warm(ish)and dry,even in our so called summer. The feckin' weirdos!

Is this journalism - a story about a story in another publication!?

I shall continue to cycle in my EWCC club kit–after all, I'm a member (and a vice-president).

Hoy mentions full Sky team kit, but the photo is of someone in Cardiff Ajax kit, a UK amateur cycling club.
